Google Analytics Course

Online Training

Track Your Return On Investment & Improve Your Online Presence

Most businesses would never hire an employee, pay them a bunch of cash, and never expect a return from them, but this happens every day when it comes to your online presence. A new website is put live, then sometimes many months later you are unsure what you’re getting out of it and wonder whether the initial investment was worth it.

This Google Analytics course starts with an introduction to the concepts around tracking your website using Google Analytics, and steps through common mistakes then into advanced topics to ensure you understand the metrics that matter, how visitors are using your website, how to track and monitor them yourself, and how you can use the data to improve your online guest experience.

If you are thinking of starting a new website, or revamping an existing one, this course is a great primer for this process as you’ll be able to find out what’s currently working on your site, what’s not, and how to guide your new web development to ensure it’s easy to track your returns.

If you have an existing online presence you’ll discover how to measure and track it to help discover the value being returned, and where the valuable visitors are coming from.

Why pick this course over others?

This course is based on real life scenarios and issues I’ve seen on many Google Analytics installations. In my experience, about 90% of businesses aren’t tracking what they could be. The beauty of digital marketing is you can track pretty much everything if you invest the resources up front, and this could save you thousands going forward.

I’ve performed several Analytics audits which have uncovered scenarios like the following :

Analytics being set up incorrectly by web developers which means you’ll never own your data

Implementations of websites with third party booking engines that make it impossible for you to track your returns

Analytics accounts that have misleading data meaning you’re likely to make the wrong marketing decisions

Insights that uncover a completely different demographic of users than the business owner realised

We increased room bookings by 100 in a month

"Within 6 weeks of taking one of Darren's online courses we increased room bookings by 100 in a month" and my staff noticed the increase in phone calls for reservations. I refuse to let the online travel agents take advantage of us, and this course fast tracked my education by at least 6 months, maybe more. The course "really identified with a time strapped owner operator" and was "extremely helpful and not overwhelming".

I live and breath analytics. I love data driven marketing and have seen the benefits of getting the right setup to ensure your marketing success.

I’m a certified individual in Google Analytics as well as a badged Google Partner and have run many training courses in this area both in person and online.
